19th Century

A historical farce in the same vein as the Flashman books, White Zulu describes adventures and misadventures of Colonel Bagshot, late of her Majesty’s Hussars in the battles of Isandlwana and Rourke’s Drift. Solidly based in historical events, it plays on the “unseen events” of war to tell a tale in his retirement.

Howard Whitehouse is a British writer and game designer. Since the 1980s he has published two books of military history, five novels for young people, and designed more than twenty sets of wargames rules. He lives with four fine cats and his very patient American wife in New York’s Hudson Valley, in a 1900 era church manse cluttered up with books, model soldiers, miniature buildings and, indeed, himself. He has also been called, “..one of the finest comic writers of our day”.

The Pacific War was one of the greatest and bloodiest war ever on the west part of South America, and is one of the most important conflicts in South American history. It is also known as the ‘Saltpeter War’ or the ‘Guano War’ because the possession of these two highly profitable nitrates was the main cause of the conflict.

By the 1870s Chilean military policies exploded into full scale conflict. This book examines the troops, uniforms and equipment used by the Chilean, Peruvian and Bolivian forces and traces the events of the war from the early naval blockades, through major pitched battles, to the final guerilla campaign in occupied Peru. The war ended in total victory for Chile, and that country’s military emergence thereafter as ‘the Prussia of South America’, while it cost Peru some lucrative provinces, and Bolivia its outlet to the Pacific coast.

Originally published in 1841, Operations of the Polish Army during the 1809 Campaign, by General Roman Soltyk, is not a simple recitation of the events of the war; it is a reasoned critique of the operations of the Polish Army, disputing its territory and its liberties from the Austrian Army foot by foot. It was written by a man who was personally familiar with the people and events discuss in this work. Using original material along with his memoirs, General Soltyk lays out a fascinating and detailed account of the little researched, but equally important theater of war.

The Author

Roman Soltyk was the son of a Polish general who fought in the Russian Campaign of 1812 in the army of the Duchy of Warsaw, survived the wars and was an officer in the army of the Kingdom of Poland. Soltyk joined underground patriotic organizations in the 1820’s and commanded troops in the November Insurrection of 1830-31. He eventually emigrated to France where he wrote histories of the Napoleonic Wars and the November Uprising.
